Congratulations to Keira and Hasna at the National Disability Championships
Congratulations must go to both Keira Shepherd and Hasna Hakim, who swam at the weekend at the National Open Short Course Disability Swimming Championships at Sheffield.
For Hasna, she swam well considering she is still battling with an injured shoulder.
For Keira at her first major championships since her classification as an S8, she swam exceptionally well, winning two golds and one silver, with personal bests in her two individual events.
Keira said ‘Not a bad weekend at the Nationals! Two golds, one silver( I don’t mind coming second to a Paralympic swimmer Stephanie Slater!), and two official PB’s! Well done to Steph and all the swimmers there! We had one heck of a relay team Tully, Fran and Megan! We did good girls!! … It’s easy to comment on a good competition but there’s a lot of hard training behind the scenes, if it wasn’t for some amazingly supportive friends, boyfriend and family I probably wouldn’t have got those PB’s!
A big well done to both girls for their swims in Sheffield.

Beeches Bold brave it at Boldmere Open
A big congratulations to the swimmers who took part in the Boldmere Open meet at the weekend. Andrew Gulliver, Jamie Keyte, Katie Gulliver, Jessica Jones, Dominique Gomez, Jessica Deans and Sophia Deans all swam, and seemed to enjoy themselves whilst there!
Medals went to Andrew Gulliver (Silver 50 fly, Bronze 50 Free), Jamie Keyte (Bronze 50 Fly, Bronze 50 Breast, Gold 100 Free), Katie Gulliver (Silver 50 Breast), Jessica Jones (Silver 50 Fly), Dominique Gomez (Silver 50 Fly). Jessica and Sophia Deans were both among the youngest swimmers in their respective age groups, but swam well in their events.
Sophia Deans is now our fastest 9 year old recorded 200 meter freestyle swimmer – the first time she has entered that event in a competition.
Well done to all the swimmers who took part in this meet, and represented the club, whilst having FUN together!
